Didn't have or ever play "3d Pool", but put a lot of time into Dungeon Master (87 I think) and Oids. I think my favourite ST game was probably Steel Empire, but no one else seems to have heard of that. So many wonderful titles of that era that people simply didn't know about.

I once lent someone Virtua Racing (32X) and the cheeky bastard went and traded it in, I eventually got them to replace it but the replacement was in extremely poor condition and reeked of cigarettes and dogs.

Basically the games I traded in during the Gamecube era. I was trading in N64, Game Boy and Gamecube games, some of which are hard to get hold of now. Most of them I've managed to replace but it will always irritate me that I've ended up with someone else's second hand copy when I had an original one which I'd owned from new.

Of the Gamecube games I sold, Four Swords adventure irks me most. I own it again now but not the big box version and the prices for that have skyrocketed. Skies of Arcadia Legends and Ikargua are two others as well, although I've seen repurchased both of them.

Another big one is Pokemon Red, the first Pokemon game I bought and I had the game, box, manual all in excellent condition. I may still have the box and manual somewhere but the game is definitely gone. I still have Blue (and got rid of Red because I didn't think it was worth keeping both) but as daft as it sounds given they're basically the same game it doesn't hold the same value for me.

On the plus side, best one I ever did was a trade with someone at school. I traded him Clayfighter for the N64 and he gave me Conkers BFD. Still got it to this day.

My word!

I have never played on a Vectrex and I'd like to one day.

My cousins used to have a Vectrex and I'd try and play on it (along with their Casio keyboard ) whenever I went round theirs. I often wonder what they did with it and find myself looking on ebay to buy one on a whim.

Isn't Clayfighter on N64 pretty valuable these days?

Not even a little bit. Goes for about a tenner.

The US only Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut, on the other hand, is one of the rarest NTSC N64 games. A boxed copy goes for silly money, because it was a rental only game and most of the boxes were flattened and binned by the Blockbusters and whatnot who rented them out.

Ah right, that's what I must have been thinking of, cheers!

I only know this because I've got my eye on a PAL copy of Clayfighter on eBay just now

Never traded a game in and never sold a console so I have no regrets thankfully. Sometimes being a crazy hoarder pays off. I do have desire to now display all of these old games so I need to think of some way to arrange my games room to squeeze an extra dvd rack in there. Champagne problems!

I had a factory sealed SNES that I bought for 2 euro from a tesco I worked in back in 2002. I opened it, played it a handful of times and left it to gather dust, eventually sold it for like 30 euro or so a couple of years ago. I should never have unboxed it

My parents threw out all my big box Atari ST games a few years ago too. That literally pains me to the point where I actually have a recurring dream where I find shitloads of ST games randomly while shopping
